    Backyard Chicken Farm Research Study

    Hi all, I'm doing a scientific study on backyard chicken flocks. The popularity of our chicken flocks has exploded over the last decade and there's not enough good scientific research on the small casual farmers (like the majority of us are), so I'd like to fill in the gaps.
